"Happy Birthday Mom . . . "

Greetings,

I want to take a little break from our holiday festivities around here to wish my sweet mother a happy birthday.  As with anyone born in the month a December, her birthday always seemed to get mashed up with Thanksgiving and Christmas.  Not always a proper party or gifts.

Not this year.

So - Happy Birthday Mom . . . the gracious lady who taught me how to entertain. Who taught both the power of a good attitude, and the many uses of a bad one.  Who taught me not to leave the house ill-dressed just in case I were to see someone I knew.  Who taught me to embrace the love of travel.  Who taught me that one can never actually have too many dishes.  And who continues to teach me about enjoying life - and not putting up with anyone's bullshit.

That's my mom.

Cheers,
Scot
